LCD glasses might replace bifocals

Peter — Wed, 05 Apr 2006 02:07:34 +0000

The specs use electrodes that can alter the configuration of the LCDs, automatically refocusing based on what the wearer is looking at. There are, however, a couple of downsides. Other researchers scoff that the lenses would end up being too heavy and thick (and the prototype pictured here does look kind of goofy). The other downside: if the batteries give out, you’re left with plain glass.

Similicio.us is a brand new search engine that matches up the database of del.icio.us with the power of the search engine EasyUtil.com The result is a new blog finder tool that can help you discover new websites based upon what you currently like. Interesting to see a small time guy come up with a pretty cool tool like this while the major search players are spending millions trying to improve their own relevancy in blog search

World’s Magnetic Field might Flip Soon

Peter — Sun, 29 Jan 2006 00:50:22 +0000

We all know that the world’s magnetic field is weakening, but could it be because we are due for a magnetic field reversal? This would mean that animals might go the wrong way during migration or the fact that compasses might swing 180 degrees and point south. The magnetic shield might even disappear for a century or two.

TiVo to Bring TV Programing to IPod, PSP

Peter — Tue, 22 Nov 2005 14:34:04 +0000

TiVo Inc. on Monday said it will begin testing a feature in the coming weeks to let some subscribers transfer recorded television programing to Apple iPod digital music players or Sony’s PlayStation portable devices, sending the company’s shares up 4.5 percent. The new feature will only be available to “stand-alone” TiVo subscribers that are not among the 2.3 million customers from satellite TV operator DirecTV Group Inc.

TiVo’s move bypasses Apple Computer Inc., whose decision in October to sell music videos and ABC TV network shows started much debate in the media industry about the end of the advertising supported TV business model. One analyst briefed on the announcement said the new feature may raise “concerns” among program owners, who aim to profit from movies and shows either through DVD or online sales.
